The weather outlook has been bleak in Pattaya for most of the week. Pattaya103.com had a nice article about yesterdays flooding and forecast.
Storms bring Pattaya to Grinding Halt
All through the week the 103 weather has been predicting the
storms that hit today, bringing the city to a grinding halt and adding
to the usual afternoon gridlock in many areas.Power outages were fixed quickly but the internet in the area has, from many suppliers, been up and down today as all roads from the Sukhumvit to the Beach saw major flooding making some unpassable.
The railway road on the East side took it badly as Siam Country club road, Nerm Plab wan and Khao Noi as well as KhaoTalo became gushing rivers. Our own Drive time DJ, Goldfinger, was told to stay at home as his journey would have seen him attempting to cross 1 metre deep waters on his motorcycle.
On Beach Road business was seriously affected as much of the area was under water, and second road too saw more than its fair share.
Two separate storms hit the region as they came across Asia from China...and more is expected. We are told to be prepared for similar weather for at least the next 3 days.
